Experimental investigation into the shear resistance of a reinforced UHPFRC web element

Eugen Brühwiler, Talayeh Noshiravani, Karl Telleen, Rita Galrito

Ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) can be implemented in combination with steel reinforcing bars to enhance the performance of UHPFRC elements subject to shear stresses. This paper presents an experimental investigation into the beha ...

Failure in multiphase geomaterias

Lyesse Laloui

The contributions assembled in the present volume proceed from the lectures of the 2009 ALERT Geomaterials School devoted to the Failure in the multiphase geomaterials. The multiphase behaviour of geomaterials used to be mainly considered from the point of ...

Non-symmetrical punching of flat slabs and slab bridges without transverse reinforcement

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Juan Sagaseta Albajar

Punching of flat slabs without transverse reinforcement has mostly been investigated in the past for slabs with equal reinforcement ratios in the two directions and loaded under axis-symmetrical conditions. However, in practice, slab bridges as well as man ...

Modulation of arginase pathway by hemodynamic forces

Fabienne Riche

It is well recognized that alterations on wall shear stress plays an important role on the development of atherosclerosis disease. It is known that oscillatory shear stress (OSS) flow pattern induces endothelial dysfunction via changes on nitric oxide (NO) ...

Sliding-induced adhesion of stiff polymer microfiber arrays. II. Microscale behaviour

Bryan Edward Schubert

The adhesive pads of geckos provide control of normal adhesive force by controlling the applied shear force. This frictional adhesion effect is one of the key principles used for rapid detachment in animals running up vertical surfaces. We developed polypr ...

Joining Wood by Friction Welding - Fabrication of Multi- layered Components

Yves Weinand, Bernhard Stamm

Since decades traditional friction welding methods are applied industrially to metal and thermoplastic synthetics. Research showed that for different applications this method is promising for wood too. The process does not necessitate any additional materi ...

Shear strength of URM walls retrofitted using FRP

Pierino Lestuzzi, Marc Badoux, Mohamed Elgawady

This paper compares different models currently used to calculate the shear strength of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls retrofitted using fiber reinforced polymers (URM-FRP). The shear strengths of six recently tested URM-FRP walls were compared to shear s ...

Shear Strength of RC Bridge Deck Cantilevers

Rui Vaz Rodrigues

An experimental and theoretical investigation of the shear strength of reinforced concrete slabs without shear reinforcement is under way at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The first part of the program consists of 6 tests on two large scale ...

Elasto-plasticity of unsaturated soils : laboratory test results on a remoulded silt

Lyesse Laloui, Laurent Vulliet

Current models of the elasto-plastic behaviour of unsaturated soils contain important underlying assumptions that have not been tested due to a lack of adequate experimental data. To address this issue, the objective of this paper is to provide a comprehen ...

Exceptional ideal strength of carbon clathrates

Philippe Gillet

We study by means of ab initio calculations the ideal tensile and shear strengths of the C-46 clathrate phase. While its bulk modulus and elastic constants are smaller than in diamond, its strength is found to be in all directions larger than the critical ...
